A: Hey there! Did you hear anything interesting today?
B: Not really, just work stuff. What's up?

A: There's this cool news about China! They're extending their visa-free entry policy for us, Japanese folks!
B: Oh, that sounds good! But wasn't it supposed to end this year?

A: Yeah, it was. But now, they've decided to extend it until the end of next year! So, we can visit China for tourism or business without a visa for up to 30 days.
B: Wow, that's awesome! And they're not just doing it for us Japanese. It'll also apply to people from over 40 other countries like France and Germany.

A: Exactly! They said they want to expand high-standard opening up and make travel between borders easier.
B: That's really thoughtful of them, considering all the troubles we've been through with the pandemic. Let's hope it stays this way!
